Google's circle to search on my Galaxy S24 helped me save a friendship and get the joke

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra with S Pen drawn, demonstrating Circle to Search.

I know what a Pokemon is, and I even saw the movie, the one that had Deadpool. I’ve never played a Pokemon game, though, even though my kiddo was a fan back in the day. Thanks to Google’s new circle to search feature, I now know about Lance, a trainer of Dragon type Pokemon, and one of the Elite Four, before he became Champion of the Pokemon League. I don’t know what any of that means, but Google does, and it helped me save a friendship. 

When I say friendship, I mean with Christian Guyton, our Computing Editor and Energy Drink Connoisseur, whom I’ve never met because he lives in the UK. But he seems lovely! I see him on our team video chats and he comes across like a cool and knowledgeable person, and I’m sure we’ll have fun and be friends if I come to the UK or he comes to the US and we hang out.
